Definitely. There are so many things one takes for granted in a programming editor. A lot more work than I expected. [then again, what isn't] Also, disabling the syntax highlighting gives my editor component decent performance. Add it back in, and my editor comes to a crawl! :-( I'm trying to use regex [another think I'm trying to learn] for the syntax highlighting, so I could maybe import gEdit or Midnight Commander's syntax definitions. But I still have lots of work ahead. -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
